Well, it took my human about 4 million hours to take a decent picture of Meatball. But here he is, in all his Snailiness.

I don't understand why it took so long to take a picture of something that barely moves, but I guess Nikon couldn't handle it and Meatball is kinda like Dutch when it comes to cameras. Except worse because Dutch doesn't have a shell he can hide in.

Apparently this is one of Meatball's favorite poses:

I think you picked the most perfect names ever for Meatball the Snail & Swedish the Fish. If I had thumbs and/or could draw, I'd totally make a book about them. Oh, and it only took until this morning for my human to remember the whole Swedish Meatballs thing. Duh!

HAPPY DAY!Much specialness going out to Flyer. I don't know where you live Flyer - but I hope it isn't hot hot hot there!

I voted for meatball, so I'm glad that name won. Such bright colors swimming (and crawling) around in the tank. Those pictures were worth the wait. Hope you are having a good day, Pug. Say hi to Dutch for me.

Happy, happy day to Flyer! I'm going to have a snack in your honor now.

Yaay! I voted for meatball too. If your human gets another fish or animal for the tank, she should name it Chef! If her brain is a bit gimpy that day,tell her to go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcn7pFZDmsY

I've never seen such a handsome Snail before - he's practically glowing! Meatball sounds like a perfect name. Just remember, Puglet, he's not *actually* a meatball (i.e. Don't eat him!). I mean, maybe, um, if you were a Frenchie you'd eat a snail...I don't know... -Love, Sid.

Hey 3E's,We're still at work with all blinds shut and the air cranked. AND my human's car (dark blue with black leather) has been sitting out there all day in the sun. So who knows how long we'll have to run the air in order to get into the car to go home.Sorry environmentalists! What can I do?!

It's been a CRAZY long day and I am just now able to give an update on Benny. I thought about the "blunt trauma" all night and I have a vague memory of Benny missing the bed a couple of weeks ago when he tried to jump up on it. It sounded like it hurt but he seemed fine so I forgot all about it. Blunt trauma is one of the causes for inflammation in the liver. So I called the vet as soon as they opened today and passed that information along. I am soooooo hoping this is the reason for his liver trouble. I had to call back at 2:00 this afternoon and I was told he did eat some, wasn't acting sad or depressed and the tech even took him outside for a little walk. They didn't say he was any worse and it sounds like he could be a bit better. The other thing they said is the doctor wants me to call back tomorrow afternoon. That means another VERY quiet and lonely night without my little guy. We miss him but I continue to think positive thoughts and am VERY grateful for ALL the good juju being sent his way. THANKS to EVERYONE!!!!

I am with your human on the "Sweedish Meatball" thing. It NVER even clicked until I read it here. I'll blame it on missing Benny. Those are GREAT shots of Sweedish and Meatball that your human was able to get.

A BIG Happy Birthday to Flyer!!!! Since Benny isn't here to have his "celebration" treat Pug you should have two.....one for you and one for my Benny :)

So it is Meatball .. welcome to the family, Mr? Snail. Yes, what is snail? Male or female?

This is one of the issues of life which concern me at the moment, having discovered that there must be two sexes in pugdom. So far I have only had bromances ... and now I have met a huge dogue de bordeaux lady who somehow is a giant pug. I am in love .. therefore, the question related to who snail is came to my slightly confused mind.

Happy Birthday, Flyer and have a nice day with special treats and lots of kuddling.

I also wish Benny well, come home soon and hopefully much better.

Pug greetings from a cold and rainy Berlin(actually, it rains cats and dogs since days and I am avoiding outings)
